Core beliefs and PR talk are two different things.

I don't know. Sub for a month or two and play the game for much cheaper than buying it for 70 bucks?

Factually, since that is the end result, irrespective of whatever hollow rhetoric justifies the purchase.
I have a feeling if Sony bought a big third party publisher, nobody would be making excuses for them.

Actually, no that is not what he said. He said:

Ask me about my Stream Deck
If the service continues to grow in popularity, then yes and it will likely be a tent pole franchise or release. Maybe even one of the ones that was announced within the last year.
Does it spell out the end of gaming as we know it? No.
Unless every platform decides to invest in these services today you aren't likely to see this change this decade.

"To maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC"
"We value PC gamers, and will continue to look at the right times to launch EACH game on PC"
If you can't see the absolute obvious lie then idk.

"Each" has a different meaning than "every" so how that is an "absolute obvious lie"....idk.
Regardless, you previously claimed Hulst said "Horizon will be the only PlayStation exclusive that will come to PC". So why you think this quote backs up your previous post, I have no idea.

Need somewhere to rant so... I've been playing Atomicrops on PC for a couple of hours and I've managed to complete the first year + unlocked some stuff (character and upgrades). Was going to play a bit more today and I got some synchronization message from the XGP app. When it finally completed, my progress was all gone. It was like I was playing for the first time.
Now, I only had something like 6 hours of playtime and it's not like I was really into it (I honestly don't like the timers and while defending the crops, it's a visual mess, so I end up being hit unnecessarily), but it was something to pass time. And now, I really don't feel like going back and redoing everything from the start.

Wish I had a capable laptop or PC for AOE. I’d love to play the recent remasters as well.

It doesn't take much to run the AOE remasters. I get good results on an aging i5-6600 and a 960. AOE4 will probably be out of the question though, hoping for Xbox support with K&M.

FS2020, The Ascent, Omno, soon Hades, GP is seriously starting to have too many games to play.
Telling Lies and Gorogoa are coming to Xbox Game Pass soon
Today Annapurna Interactive has revealed two of their games are coming to Xbox Game Pass. Both Telling Lies and Gorogoa will be coming to the service
xboxera.com
Happy about Telling Lies, it's one of those games like Return of the Obra Jinn, where I know I would like/love it but can't find the reason to buy it. Hopefully I like it and then will buy Telling Lies and Her Story.

I'm not going to name the games because I don't want to spread negativity, but being able to play some of the critical darling type games just long enough for me to say "nah, not that good" is maybe the best thing about Gamepass to me. I didn't buy it, so I don't feel obligated to play it. I didn't waste my money, and I can drop it like a hot potato with no regrets.

Yeah, you are right. I saw another name (composer) and didn’t notice that the rest was done by one person. Anyway, don’t want to diminish the work he has done, but I feel it simply needs a little bit more optimisation and it will be a very cool indie game to play on a lazy day.

Want to recommend Star Renegades.
It has really fun turn based, JRPG-like combat, with lots of strategy and planning for each turn. Unfortunately it is a rogue-lite, I thought it was going to be more like a full JRPG. Anyway it seems possible to beat a normal run on your first try if you have good strategy, so it's at least worth one normal completion. Not sure if I want to get into the harder stuff, it looks like things can get really complicated. I've been really hooked on it the last couple days.

Really nice if you like indie games, wanted to try Starmancer and getting it day 1 is great. Curse of the Dead Gods is a weird choice to add in the same month as Hades.

It's been that way for a bit. I bought the physical game a couple months ago and I saw this game listed in GP so I was able to play it just by clicking it without the disc. And that was a few weeks ago.

I just noticed it this weekend. Was looking at it during the Ultimate sale as a Diablo like when I noticed it was "free"
Heads up FF7 and Darksiders: Genesis leaving on the 15th.

Browser only as in streaming? xCloud is available through Game Pass ultimate, but not all games are available. A lot are though.
There will likely be an Android TV app coming Soon (TM) that you can use to stream games.

In an interview with GamesRadar, O'Driscoll enthused that the ability to access millions of players instantly at launch via Game Pass is "kind of mind blowing", and will mean that the game always benefits from a healthy player base.

Don’t think it was announced so far. August is just ridiculous when it comes to Day 1 releases.
Don't think it was. Doki doki got to wait I guess.
Edit didn't know how short doki doki was.

Playing through A Plague Tale for the first time on my Series S. I had read good things but put it off, it’s good. I know they want to stay independent but damn, Asobo are good. On Chapter 5 at the moment.
I think after this I might retry Hellblade in light of the upgrade. Then on to Hades and Psychonauts 2

I beat A plague tale last week on XSX, it was really good albeit a bit repetitive. Solid 8 for me.

While not exactly an endorsement, Raji is pretty ok game. Clearly a passion project, made in India and the story deals with their mythology. Platforming and puzzles are entry level stuff and fighting varies from inspired to kind of clunky, but it’s got mood to spare and is actually very pretty.

I was actually very surprised how good they made this 2.5D game look. I’m not very far into it but it’s pretty chill so far.

Yeah, second level/area looks even better.

New game on gamepass, announced today as far as I can tell.

Sitting on the title screen, getting ready to start it now.
Edit: Lmfao they give you a 5 point achievement for starting the game.
Edit 2: Game is very strange. It's lots of talking and turn based card stuff. Very few animations and mostly played through menus.

Sounds like it was added for gamepass streaming touch controls.

Touch controls would be more intuitive than the controller, not that it’s terrible on controller, it just takes a minute to get used to what does what.

GP is so freaking awesome. Yesterday I was a bit bored of all the serious games I've been playing lately so I decided to download Dodgeball Academia and now I'm hooked. What a charming little game! It's a light rpg with a basic but fun story, with a big school to explore and plenty of things to discover. Plus throwing a ball at people's faces is fun. I would've never even heard of this game if not for Game Pass.

It's also a small Brazilian studio so it's nice to get smaller regional devs some limelight
